The right side of the lower left ramp/diverter doesn't always recognize the ball passing across it. Slow shots register more often than hard, fast shots. I bent the original switch trying to to get this more consistent and have since replaced it with a new switch. Now I am bending the switch bracket so often trying to find the 'sweet spot' that I am afraid that it will get fatigued and break with too many more "adjustments". I think the ramp cage is just too big so the fast balls ride up higher and over the switch arm. If I adjust for the high ball then slow ones can go under the switch arm.

Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a solution?
